Reasons
1. The electrode may be dirty or defective.

Solutions

1. Please give us the serial no and year of the machine of this 1730E/EK(before 1993 or after). We want to know whether there is a water pump to fill the water or by gravity only.

You can check it by another way: Turn on the machine, there is a short moment to show the model of this machine. Check there is a WP at the end of the model or not. WP means Water Pump.

It seems this machine has 2 problems

Problem 1: No enough water filled inside the chamber
Problme 2: Some leaking, hard to say where. Maybe the solenoid valves, maybe door gasekt, maybe air jet by the safety valve, ... etc.
2. Try cleaning the electrode in the back/bottom of the chamber using scotch-brite or similiar.
